The system says it is logging me out right now. Why is it doing that?

[Lexie Linden]

I cannot log into SL after I get the system message that says ..System is logging you out right now.  It makes me wait.  Why?

[Ayana Auer]

An earlier Second Life server update (1.9) made major infrastructure  changes to how your login session is maintained on the servers.

Occasionally, the server that handled your last login session may  take a few minutes to recognize that you have logged out. Please wait  until the time specified by the error before attempting to log in again.  Repeatedly attempting to log in when you receive this message may  result in the process taking longer, preventing you from logging in at  all.

 

Mainland regions

After waiting at least fifteen minutes, if the time until your  account becomes available continues to change, please submit a ticket  through the Support Portal and we can investigate further. Providing the error message and the  last region you were logged into will help speed up the process.

 

Private regions

If you were on a private region owned by a Resident and are able to  contact the estate owner or a manager another way, they're able to  restart the region to clear your "presence" and allow you to login  again.
